Pic: Andrea Pirlo’s career illustrated in Panini stickers is absolutely magnificent

Like a fine wine

Ben Kiely

When Andrea Pirlo commits to a hairstyle, he keeps it for a very long time indeed.

Andrea Pirlo has been a true servant to the beautiful game. The Serie A stalwart has been club playing football on his home soil for the better part of five decades (I assume).

Pirlo has been blessed with the wonderful affliction known as “fine wine” syndrome. In that arguably he has gotten progressively better at football since he has surpassed what would be the prime age for most players.

Judging by his Panini stickers throughout his storied career, he is also like a fine wine when it comes to fashion sense. Throughout the early years of his career, he really seemed committed to that Fabio Lanzoni hairdo.
